FAQs

What materials are the Clean 90 trainers made from?

The Clean 90 trainers feature a smooth Italian leather upper, a comfortable calf leather lining, and a durable rubber cupsole.

Are these trainers true to size?

Axel Arigato generally runs true to size. If you are typically between sizes, it is often recommended to choose the smaller size, as leather will stretch slightly over time. For specific guidance, refer to the brand's official sizing chart.

How do I clean my Clean 90 trainers?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the leather is high quality, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a leather conditioner once dry.

What is the 'cupsole' mentioned in the description?

A cupsole is a type of sole construction where the upper part of the shoe sits inside a 'cup' of rubber. This construction provides excellent durability, support, and protection for the foot.

Where are Axel Arigato Clean 90 trainers manufactured?

All Axel Arigato Clean 90 trainers are meticulously handcrafted in Portugal, ensuring premium quality and attention to detail.

Do these trainers have arch support?

The Clean 90 trainers include a cushioned footbed for general comfort and support. While they offer good cushioning, individuals requiring specific arch support may consider adding their preferred insoles.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or to restore shine, apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or polish designed for smooth leather, buffing gently with a clean cloth.

Slight discomfort or tightness during initial wear.

High-quality leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear your trainers for short durations (1-2 hours) over several days to allow the Italian leather and calf lining to naturally mold to the unique shape of your foot.

The rubber sole looks dirty or discolored.

Clean the rubber sole using a mild soap solution and a brush (like an old toothbrush) or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth afterward to remove any residue.

Creasing appears on the leather upper.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather and indicates the shoe is molding to your foot. Regular conditioning and using shoe trees when not worn can help minimize excessive creasing and maintain the shoe's overall shape.

Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Axel Arigato Clean 90 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and dirt.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps restore its natural luster.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
